The Globe's Marc Spears gives us an update on Glen "Big Baby" Davis. Danny Ainge says a qualifying offer will be made on Tuesday ensuring Davis becomes a restricted free agent. What does "restricted free agency" mean? The Celtics have seven days to match any offer sheet. Spears offers this insight: Davis is a free [...]

Via the Dallas News: Wednesday is when teams officially can begin talking to free agents, and Kidd is expected to get overtures from several teams: Cleveland, Portland, Boston, New York and perhaps the Lakers. All of those teams except for Portland are stymied by the salary cap. The Knicks can only offer their mid-level exception, [...]

Just throwing names out there as they become available. The latest one, according to the Indy Star (via FanHouse), is Marquis Daniels. He has a $7.5 million team option… which the team will not pick up. So the 6’6″, 200 lb Daniels is now available. I’m not saying we should or shouldn’t sign him. I’m [...]

A bunch of women showed up in Waltham and danced around in bras and short shorts. That pretty much sums up how the Celtics Dancers auditions went. After the jump, more photographic proof of that… including the Red's Army favorite: Alison Preston [...]

We would have known more about Lester Hudson earlier this week… that is… if he had shown up for a schedule workout with the Celtics. But he canceled that, probably because he thought there was no way in hell that he would slip all the way down to the #58. But on draft night, Hudson [...]

Danny Ainge was on WEEI… again. And he was answering questions about Rajon Rondo… again. This time, though, the tone was a little nicer. “I think we value Rondo more than anybody else in the league values him and we know everything about him — all the good and the bad that comes with a [...]

A few of you have been asking me about the basketball game I proposed about a month ago. I haven't forgotten about it. I just wanted to put the call out once again. If you've emailed me before, you don't have to email me again. I have all of them. If you want to play, [...]

"Look Rajon… it's not that we don't like you. Ok…. I think you're a bit ofa d-bag… but Danny likes you. Well….. Danny thinks you're kind of a punkbut I'm pretty sure the guys like you. Ok… you know what… just gotake some jumpers, will ya?" I'll admit… I was a little bit worried as [...]
